Chapter 179

179 Disgust her

” Please forgive, your majesty!” Liu Fei Fei blurted out before she could even stop herself, she not only lowered her head but she even spoke those words in a soft voice like she was scared of getting punished but the second she said those words, her eyes widened and she looked at Liu Hui Ying with a snap of head as she looked at Liu Hui Ying who smiled calmly at her and said with a smiling voice, ” Its all right, I will forgive you generously because you are my cousin.”

Liu Fei Fei slapped her mouth lightly, she could not believe that she just apologised to Liu Hui Ying. It was something that she has never done in her entire life, after all, she was used to beating and teasing Liu Hui Ying, the latter has never opposed her actions much less ask for an apology which was really surprising in itself but what was even more surprising was that she actually lowered her head in front of Liu Hui Ying and even apologised to her!

So what if Liu Hui Ying became the Empress, she was still the gloomy and scaredy girl who did not know what was best for her!

The one person who was even more shocked than Liu Fei Fei was her maid, she has never seen her missy ask for forgiveness from anyone, especially Liu Hui Ying. How was it even possible for Liu Fei Fei to even ask for forgiveness from Liu Hui Ying?

Qui Ai on the other hand was really pleased, as she looked at Liu Fei Fei and Gu Xiao Xiao. Her missy was someone who could make even the Emperor lower his head in front of her, what kind of big stuff was Liu Fei Fei? With a scoff, she turned her head and walked over to Liu Hui Ying with a twist of her waist.

Seeing her arrogance strut Gu XiaoXiao gritted her teeth as she looked at the woman with her eyes spewing fire.

” So, what are you here for?” Liu Hui Ying asked as she placed her chopsticks aside and then made space for the bowl filled with water to wash her hands and then looked at Liu Fei Fei with a slight raise of her brows. ” I don’t think that you would come here looking for me for no reason, Sister Fei Fei.”

Liu Fei Fei was still stunned over the fact that she apologised to Liu Hui Ying, which was why she did not answer at once, it took her a bit more time to process the question that Liu Hui Ying has asked her before she raised her neck like a prideful swan and said, ” Its nothing, you and I have been selected as the Empress and concubine of the imperial family for a long time and yet I did not come to see you which is why I came to meet you, sister Hui Ying.”

She tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear and then smiled at Liu Hui Ying with a smile that showed a hint of superiority. ” His majesty has just gifted me a courtyard that has an imperial rose garden, it’s such a beautiful place that I don’t even want to leave my courtyard–”

.....

” Then why did you?” Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Liu Hui Ying who washed her hands and then took the cloth that Qui Ai was handing her and then wiped her hands with it.

” What do you mean?” Liu Fei Fei asked not understanding what Liu Hui Ying said which was why she asked Liu Hui Ying what she meant by what she said, after all, what was she supposed to make out of this question?

” I asked why did you leave the courtyard if you did not want to leave?” Liu Hui Ying asked her question this time making it more comprehensible. ” I mean I was fine without you coming to see me.”

When Liu Fei Fei heard what Liu Hui Ying said, her face blossomed like a red rose and she glared at the latter with an annoyed expression. The reason she mentioned the imperial rose garden was that she wanted to make Liu Hui Ying jealous and nothing else, why was it that the woman took what she wanted to say in another direction and asked such a stupid question?

She should have turned envious when she heard that the Emperor has gifted her an imperial rose garden should she not?

Why was she asking such a useless question?

“It is true that it’s a beautiful courtyard but I cannot stay in the courtyard all the time, right?” Liu Fei Fei was rather upset when she did not see the jealous expression on Liu Hui Ying’s face but she could not say that she actually came to see Liu Hui Ying getting jealous over the fact that she did not get a response garden.

” You should think of staying in the courtyard all the time,” Liu Hui Ying told her as she wiped her mouth and then handed the cloth back to Qui Ai before turning to look at Liu Fei Fei. ” You will be safer and the others will be happier.”

Was she calling her a nuisance? Liu Fei Fei thought in her head with her face twisting in anger.

“Your majesty, I understand what are you saying but the reason that I came here was that I wanted to see what the Emperor gave you after all, you are the Empress aren’t you? Surely the Emperor must have given you something even more fascinating than he did to me?” Liu Fei Fei’s reason to come here was simple, she wanted to disgust Liu Hui Ying and nothing else after all, she hasn’t forgotten the fact that she was chosen as a concubine despite being the daughter of the prime minister.

And yet Liu Hui Ying was chosen to become the Empress just because she was the legitimate daughter of the Liu family even though her father was nothing but a useless merchant.
